Market demand continues to grow: magnetic materials are widely used in many fields, such as electronics, automobiles, new energy, medical devices, aerospace and so on. With the continuous development of these fields, the demand for magnetic materials continues to increase. Taking new energy vehicles as an example, their key components such as drive motors require high-performance magnetic materials, which has promoted the expansion of the market size of magnetic materials. In the field of electronics, the demand for magnetic materials for mobile phones, computers, hard drives and other devices is also growing steadily.
Continuous improvement of product performance: In order to meet the higher performance requirements of magnetic materials in downstream applications, the research and development direction focuses on improving magnetic properties (such as higher magnetic energy product, coercivity and remanence), improving temperature stability, and enhancing corrosion resistance. For example, by optimizing the material composition and improving the production process, the Ndfeb permanent magnet material with higher magnetic energy product and coercivity has been developed to adapt to the complex use environment and higher working requirements.
Industrial upgrading and technological innovation:
Production process improvement: Enterprises continue to invest in research and development, improve the production process, such as the use of more advanced sintering technology, bonding technology, improve production efficiency and product quality, reduce production costs. For example, in the production of sintered NdFeb, product performance and consistency are improved by optimizing the formulation and production process control of powder metallurgy processes.
Research and development of new magnetic materials: In addition to improving the performance of existing magnetic materials, we also actively explore new magnetic materials, such as nano-magnetic materials and magnetic semiconductor materials. These new materials have unique properties and potential application value, which may bring new development opportunities for the magnetic materials industry.
Integration with other technologies: The trend of integration of magnetic materials with other technical fields is becoming increasingly obvious, such as combining with electronic technology, information technology, biotechnology, etc. For example, in the biomedical field, magnetic nanomaterials are used for targeted drug delivery, magnetic resonance imaging, etc. In the field of information technology, magnetic materials are combined with semiconductor technology for the development of new memory devices.
Green environmental protection and sustainable development: In the context of "carbon neutral, carbon peak" green development, the magnetic material industry pays more attention to environmental protection and sustainable development. On the one hand, efforts are made to reduce energy consumption and pollutant emissions in the production process, and environmentally friendly raw materials and production processes are adopted. On the other hand, the development of magnetic materials applied in the field of energy conservation and environmental protection, such as magnetic materials for energy-efficient motors, to help downstream industries achieve energy conservation and emission reduction goals.
Increasing industry concentration: At present, the market competition of low-end products in the magnetic material industry is fierce, and there is overcapacity. With the intensification of market competition and the improvement of industry standards, some enterprises with backward technology and smaller scale will be gradually eliminated, industry resources will be concentrated to advantageous enterprises, and industry concentration is expected to further improve. Through technological innovation, scale effect and industrial chain integration, large enterprises enhance market competitiveness and industry status, and lead the development of the industry.
Application field expansion: In addition to traditional application fields, magnetic materials continue to expand to emerging fields. For example, in the fields of artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, 5G communication, magnetic materials have potential application prospects in sensors, wireless charging, electromagnetic shielding, etc. In the field of smart home, magnetic materials can be used to drive and control components of smart door locks, smart curtains and other products; In the field of rail transit, magnetic materials are used in key components such as traction motors and electromagnetic braking of high-speed trains
